Description
Twenty-First-Century Fiction: A Critical Introduction explores how contemporary writers respond to our global context. By tracing formal and thematic similarities in novels from the past decade, Peter Boxall maps new territory for scholars and readers of today's literature.
This critical introduction examines the ways in which authors such as Don DeLillo, Margaret Atwood, J. M. Coetzee, and Philip Roth, among others, narrate shared cultural life in the new century. Boxall draws on new cultural and technological developments to challenge established notions of democracy, humanity, and national and global sovereignty.
Through his analysis, Boxall provides a fresh perspective on the fiction of the past decade, shedding light on how these authors engage with our contemporary predicament.
